I’m DONE! I have bleed Broncos orange through the “terrible 60’s” the “dreadful 70’s” and was always proud of the fans and the organization. Today I am ashamed. Ashamed of the short-sighted fan-base and truly ashamed of the ownership who caved in. I was 8 years old when the Broncos came into being and have been a fan ever since……….. today that came to an end. Like McDaniels or hate him, he deserved the chance to prove himself. I am so sick of these whiney, fair weather so called fans and what they have done to a good man.

A chance to prove himself? This clown traded away a cornacopia of young talent, and lost more games over a 20 game strech than any other coach since the early 70’s. Not to mention embarassing the organization with his taping episode in England.

it’s cornucopia ye **** idiot if you wanna use fancy words at least check you actually that word

He had a chance. and then some. Let’s see what he did: Got rid of all the tallent, Never could explain why he traded Hillis for Quinn just to draft Tebow. He has raked up more losses than any coach in the last 30+ years. I could tell you what he would say in each and ever pressconference, because it was always the same thing. What more could he have done? He’s proven himself as a team smasher. Guess you wanted to wait until he started re-building it? He kept bringing in ex-Pats at the end of their career and most if his draft picks are released. What would you have us wait for?

Wellnesscenter

I agree. Any more waiting and anyone else that had a flicker of talent he would release. He was the worst coach that ever lived and NO i am not kidding!! He brought a proud franchise to its knees, but not anymore. I hope knoweone will ever hire that complete moron and i dont wish him well because he doesnt deserve it!!!!

Tlfager

i agree. I have been a Bronco Fan since the early 70’s, and this was the most difficult season to watch. I will forever be a fan (win or lose) but I have pride in the team and our state, and the Broncos deserve better, the fans deserved better, etc. Here’s to next season!

What the hell kind of football were u watching these last 2 seasons were way to painful to watch! If anything your the fair weather fan for leaving! Once a Broncos always Broncos! Good riddance to McDaniels and to you! GO BRONCOS!!!!!!

I completely agree. McDaniels will get the last laugh.

You are a hypocrite if you are no longer a Broncos fan. They are trying to improve the team and if that means getting rid of somebody that’s failing them, fine. You are supporting McDaniels not your Broncos. Now who is the fair weather so called fan?

I am sitting here watching the Patriots dismantle the Jets. I think they will be the next Superbowl Champs. Sure glad we don’t have anyone from Bilichek’s organization leading us. Maybe Mr Bowlen does have Alzheimer, oh for you devoted fans that means premature senility, I’m sorry that means that has lost his mind. KISS

Wow you really don’t have a clue do you? McDaniels is just the latest in a long line of failed ex Belichek assistant coaches. Honestly, what planet have you been living on?

theotheredge

I’m sure McD will end up back with the Patriots, and will have another superbowl run with them. Bad choice Bowlen. You’ve lost another fan of 20+years.

finally

Yeah, you go ahead and enjoy supporting cheaters that bring disgrace to our franchise. For someone who “have bleed Broncos orange through the “terrible 60’s” the “dreadful 70’s”” you’d think you’d want to make sure that first and foremost, our Broncos are respected rather than being the laughing stock of the NFL. Go ahead and be “done” we won’t miss you. Sincerely, true Broncos fans that were tired of seeing our team run through the mud.

The bottom line is this has all occurred on the watch of Pat Bowlen. Mr. Bowlen decided to give McDaniels all the authority and the head coaching job… while he did not succeed on either front we’re still “stuck” with the same guy(s) who got us in to this mess to begin with, Mr. Bowlen and Joe Ellis.

While there seems to be a collective sigh of relief, I’ll wait and see in the hopes they don’t screw up again.

I do not live in Denver and am not a Broncos fan. You fired the wrong guy. It should be Joe Ellis.
